+Another idea is to allow to define a full scenario including the run
+in one content string::
+
+    runscenario("""
+        test_{TESTNAME}.py:
+            import pytest
+            @pytest.mark.xfail

+                pass

+            import pytest
+            def pytest_runsetup_setup(item):

+
+        runpytest -rsxX
+        *SKIP*{TESTNAME}*

+This could be run with at least three different ways to invoke pytest:
+through the shell, through "python -m pytest" and inlined. As inlined
+would be the fastest it could be run first (or "--fast" mode).
